Hey Sven, how many times have you heard you may be a little too anal retentive? Also, how do you figure 'A' Euro is singular, and 'Some' Euro is plural? If I said "I have some euro in my pocket", in english, that means I have one european dolar, thus 'Euros' *is* plural, since it's describing the use of two words together in *one* word, but this applies to the english language only AFAICT.
Er, -
I have a sheep in my field I have some sheep in my field
A lot will depend on the word *and* how it's used in a sentence (in english). Also, sheep is just that...sheep...that's for *that* word, I'm talking about the word 'euro' and how it's used and how/when it's pluralized. Heck, you can bring up all kinds of 'other' words (goose comes to mind), but each 'word' has its own way of being pluralized.
